Round Lake (Saskatchewan)

Round Lake[1] is the last part of a chain of eutrophic prairie lakes connected by the Qu'Appelle River in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The lakes — known as the Fishing Lakes — were formed by glaciation about 10,000 years ago. Round Lake Dam, an embankment dam was constructed on the east end of the lake in 1941 to control water levels and protect from floods downstream on the Qu'Appelle River.
